Verónica Castillo

Verónica Castillo is a Costa Rican surf instructor and psychologist who grew up by the ocean, where her love for the sea became a way of life. Surfing has always been her greatest teacher, it taught her patience, presence, and how to move with life’s waves instead of against them.

After spending her childhood in the water, Verónica left the coast for a few years to study psychology in the city. Even though she loved learning about the human mind, she always knew she’d find her way back to the ocean. Her dream was to combine both worlds; to bring the depth of psychology into surfing, and use the ocean as a space for healing and connection.

With over eight years of experience sharing waves with people from all over the world, Verónica now combines her knowledge of psychology with her passion for surfing to create meaningful and transformative experiences in the water. She believes surfing is more than a sport, it’s a path to self-discovery and emotional growth.
